Here I had the chance to learn about the hosteloperations and improve my customer service skills. the hostelis in a lovely neighborhood, just a short distance from downtownthethethe hostel—great for exploring the city. What I'm most thankful for are the incredible people I met here. The managers and fellow volunteers are truly amazing. I will forever cherish the memories and connections I made with them.

My two month stay at the hostelwas awesome! I felt welcomed the moment I arrived; the owner and management team are super friendly and kind people. There was a really nice group of volunteers that I got to work and live with, which definitely made this such a special experience for me. I appreciated the cozy environment in thethethe hostel, and the fact that there is a separate common living space for volunteers. the hostelis located in a great spot close to downtownthe hostel, major attractions, parks, and nature, which I loved and enjoyed. I'm truly grateful for my time atthethethe hostel! Highly recommend it.

This was my first time staying in a the hosteland I was treated very well! Before starting, you have a complete training to learn about your activities. We have a Team Schedule, you need work 3 days (8 hour per day) and 4 free days, you have time for enjoying the city or travel around here. The managers are the best person and help you in everything :) I improve my english every day because the job you need speak all the day. About the food, we have a market replacement every week. I am very grateful with this experience and I highly suggest it to everyone.
